Harry Styles has won all four Brit Awards he was nominated for, including best album, artist and pop/R&B act.
The show opened with his huge hit As It Was, which won song of the year.
"I'm aware of my privilege up here tonight," he said, naming women who missed out on artist of the year, including Mabel, Florence Welch, Charli XCX, Rina Sawayama and Becky Hill.
Beyonce won international awards for best artist and song of the year, while Wet Leg won best group and new artist.
Wet Leg's singer, Rhian Teasdale, said: "This is so scary because being on the telly can be such a boys' club thing" and thanked all the women who worked on their debut album, saying: "I want to shout them out."
She also referenced Alex Turner's Arctic Monkeys Brits acceptance speech from 2014, saying: "That rock and roll - it just won't go away. It might hibernate from time to time and sink back into the swamp."
Both bands share the same record label, Domino.
This year's nominations saw no women up for best artist, following last year's decision by organisers to scrap their best male and best female awards in favour of gender-neutral prizes.
Women who were eligible but missed out included those named by Styles in his speech.
Flo, the only black British winner, won the rising star award, but did not get to perform on the night as has been the case in previous years - instead having their prize announced before the show. Read More…
